Summer Meadow and Cornfield Shoes

I've realised that my knitting has a bit of a pattern. I like to alternate working on a new pattern, and then for a bit of a relax I return to one of my own old patterns. So I've been chilling for a bit and knitting from my baby shoe pattern.

I've also been having a lot of fun with the embroidery. I've called these ones Summer Meadow Shoes. Can you see the cow parsley, cornflowers, buttercups and daisies? Although very fiddly to stitch I hope I have given the impression of a summer field.

The second pair of shoes are decorated with a cornfield. This time there are scarlet poppies, deep blue cornflowers, cow parsley and daisies amongst stems of yellow corn.

Both pairs are in the smallest size, so would be for a newborn. The pattern comes with details for a larger size too. They come in a little dupion silk drawstring shoe bag.

Beautiful detail on these gorgeous little shoes. Thanks for popping over to see me, I think the snowdrops will be lovely embroidered, it's a beautiful flower, you will have to show them when you're finished :)

These are simply beautiful! Gosh I love the flowers, and especially how you've created a garden and meadow effect, all on a shoe! I would love a pair, can you make bigger sizes? ;-) Thank you for linking up! Chrissie x

I found you on the show and tell. Those little shoes are priceless! I haven't knit in many years but I am taking it back up again. I hope that one day I can make something as beautiful as your shoes. Have a lovely evening.
